Waning memory and sanity

Yesterday, I felt very ill. So I was already not in a good place to start. In the shower, I keeled over in pain and must have struck my head because I don't remember anything and suddenly the water was cold. I don't even remember if I shaved or used conditioner.

Then yesterday, I SWEAR I was drinking a bottle of water at my desk all day. I get thirsty and go to grab it, and it's gone. I look around, but no bottle anywhere. Check the trash -- no bottle. WTF. Did I imagine I had been drinking water all day? Or did I leave it in some REALLY random spot that I'll never find? No clue.

And this morning... I walked into the shower still wearing socks. GO ME!

Back to being ill yesterday, I skipped my afternoon dose so I'd be able to sleep off the sick. It worked. I got home, crashed until I was woken up around 8pm by people demanding dinner, and then I was back in bed by 11pm (maybe earlier, can't remember). I slept really well too -- I didn't wake up and wander around in the middle of the night. Still not waking up so well. I even tried taking my pill an hour before I'm supposed to wake up, but it never works for me.

I did not skip my afternoon dose today, so we'll see how well I'm able to sleep tonight. And I'm also feeling 80% better, so that's a plus.

a little better

Sleepiness Level: Awake but I'm pretty drained. (Same as yesterday)
Other Notes: Hardly slept at all last night. Was either too hot, too cold, too achy, Todd snored too loud, Todd turned the TV on too loud, cats knocked over a glass downstairs, cat meowing like nuts because she captured a bug, etc. I'm actually the same sleepiness level I usually am, but add in some physical exhaustion from the cold. It's getting better, since I'm hardly stuffed anymore. Now I just have random sneezes and a pesky cough.
